Hi, I handed over rented apartment keys to landlord's friend on 13/8/12 because the landlord wasn't free and the landlord promised that she would return 3/4 of my deposit by 17/8/12 (she would keep 1/4deposit to cover the utility bills). But when I called her on 20/8/12, she said she was abroad and hang up her phone.
Then 2 weeks later on 3/9/12, I called that landlord again and she said she never said that she would return my 3/4 deposit by 17/8, and she found out there were a few problems in the property and we need to pay to repair. then when I defend, she said the phone line was not good and hang up her phone and till now, I haven't heard anything from her.
I don't think I should pay for the repairs as the landlord or her friend didn't inform me about the problem untill 3 weeks later and I don't know what they did to the property. The landlord bought the property from the seller(my previous landlord) and she didn't do a proper check before signing the S&P, now she found out the problems and wanted me to cover her cost which I don't think its fair.

The question is what I should do next, should I file a police report against my previous landlord(I had a rental agreement with him), or against the current landlord whom I don't have an agreement with.
